Marston is best known for narrative ballet, with women as lead characters.[6] However, Marston said it was not intentional.[7]
In 2016, Marston's Jane Eyre, base on the novel of the same name by Charlotte Brontë debuted at Northern Ballet. It was praised by the British critic. The production toured in the UK, and a revival of an enlarged version performed at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London.[8][9] In 2019, the production was danced by the American Ballet Theatre, with Devon Teuscher, Isabella Boylston and Misty Copeland dancing the title role.[4] On the same year, Joffrey Ballet in Chicago also danced Jane Eyre.[10]
Marston also choreographed Victoria, based on Queen Victoria's life. It is a co-production between Northern Ballet and National Ballet of Canada. Northern Ballet premiered the work in 2019 in Leeds, and toured the production in UK, including at Sadler's Wells. The work was screened in cinemas and later broadcast on BBC4. The work was also produced on a DVD.[11][12] It was also Premier Dancer Pippa Moore's last role before retiring. Moore danced Queen Victoria's youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice.[13] The Northern American premiere, which will be danced by National Ballet of Canada, was originally scheduled in 2021, but is delayed to 2022 to make way for a world premiere which was postponed due to COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.[14]
Marston's first Royal Ballet main stage production, The Cellist, premiered in 2020. It is a one-act work based on Jacqueline du Pré's life, with Lauren Cuthbertson as the titular Cellist, Matthew Ball as her husband Daniel Barenboim and Marcelino Sambé as her cello. Marston consulted du Pré's friends and Barenboim, and spoke to people with Multiple sclerosis, including Marston's mother, for the work. The work was relayed in cinemas worldwide and will be released as a DVD.[15][16][17] The Cellist was one of the productions available to stream online during the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic.[18]
